Brief description Strength and resistance along oceanic megathrust faults: implications for subduction initiation. Hjorta Trench, south of Macquarie Island, is a seismically active boundary of the Australian plate and a unique natural laboratory for study of the initiation of the processes which are currently driving Australia north at 7 millimetres per year. Sophisticated computer models will be used to understand the evolution of this oceanic megathrust system.
